erica2004, just looking online at the new Crystal winter 06/06 brochure and starting this year they are flying into Berne (like Inghams) from Stansted or Manchester starting from £99 !!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Looks like I'll be going on the 30th of Jan as it's a lot easier flight to catch plus my friends have decided they can't afford to go skiing this year

Chris Brookes, what's especially annoying is that whilst waiting for my friends to get their act in order my flight have gone up in price !
I mean I had a great deal for them, double room south facing with ensuite bathroom on Half board for about £60 pp per night all in including flights, ski passes, ski hire etc it came to just under £2,500 for two people for 14 nights

erica2004 If you live in Tavistock you should consider the Easyjet Bristol-Geneva flight. The Alpenrose is a very nice Hotel with very good food, the only problem i found when i stayed there was that all the guests were in bed by 10 pm and the hill up to the village was not a good start to the day although if you ask they will provide some transport.

riverman, 10pm ! Never when I'm there, at least not during winter, although it's rare for the bar staff to have to work after 11.30 I have seen it happen.
Yes the walk up the hill can be a pain and I almost never do it in ski boots but the transport is provided for free so it's not a problem, the bright side is that it is possible to ski back to the hotel

Chris Brookes, why would anyone want to go to Murren when they could go to Wengen instead (unless of course the snow is really poor in which case Murren might be better )

If I wanted to ski Wengen again

Is once enough then? Am I right to leave it until I have had both my hips replaced for a gentle potter around the mountains and can sit in a mountain restaurant taking in the views without feeling the need to squeeze in another black before lunch?

Martin Nicholas, it depends on what you are looking for, it's a good intermediate and beginner resort with about 60% of the area being red runs, if conditions allow however there are some excellent off piste runs and the scenery is spectacular.
There are two types of people who ski in Wengen, those who ski the area once or twice and move on and those that keep returning year on year because they like the area
